/sqt/ Stupid Question Thread

My firefox keeps resetting after every PC bootup. I changes everything back to the default theme and all addons strewn all over the bar at the top, and the browser loads up multiple tabs of addons that you get when you first install them as if I had just installed the fucking things.

This keeps happening and it's pissing me off.

>>58480475
Sounds like your profile is messed up. Here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

>>58480475
What I mean by >>58480884 is that you need to create a new profile and install your add-ons again - so write them down before you create the new profile.

Profile corruption happens most often because Firefox was interrupted in writing the profile file on exist at some point (either by system shutdown, killing the process or because it crashed while writing).

how do i remove similar photos from my pc? (linux)
rdupes wont works cause the images are not the same file but rather the same image with slightly different md5sums (due to resolution differences or file type or buttfuck other shit

>>58480901
I believe it can be done with SSIM: https://github.com/openpreserve/matchbox

>>58480884
>>58480900
I tried deleting all profiles, making a new one, then copying my old profile (that I had saved before this problem started) and replaced the original right away. It worked only once, though, and it keeps happening regardless of what I do now.

I shutdown right away after closing firefox. Maybe I need to give it a little while to save properly before shutting it down then?

Thanks for the help

>>58480957
You can monitor the firefox process in your task manager, once it quits it should be safe to shut down your computer (but realistically your computer shouldn't kill processes, but wait for them to quit with a proper signal code) - so there may be something else wrong with your OS installation.

I am trying to make a bootable usb drive with dban on it so I can wipe and return a laptop but the usb drive doesn't seem to boot. It's recognized in bios and windows. I used rufus to make it bootable using the .iso from the dban website. I made sure the usb drive was selected as first boot priority in the bios but it still just boots to windows. I tried this on the laptop and after several attempts (double checking I did everything properly as well as I know how) I tried it on my desktop.
It just did the same thing and booted to windows.

What am I doing wrong here? Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated. The laptop does not have a optical drive nor do I have an external optical drive.

>>58480985
I've noticed that Firefox takes a bit longer to turn off completely (youtube video audio keeps playing, process stays active, etc), but I always thought it would do its stuff faster than my PC would shut down. That might be the problem I guess.

>Gigabyte Motherboard stuck in a boot loop
>it's out of warranty
>Can't buy a new one, there's only one else on the second hand market and it's overpriced
REEEEEE

>>58481025
You say it's recognized in the BIOS, but can you not force your BIOS to boot to the USB disc - either in the BIOS itself or through a Boot Menu?

>>58481053
Does it POST? Gonna need a bit more information than 'stuck in a boot loop' because what's wrong depends on where it's looping.

>>58481025
Oh, forgot to mention this in >>58481106, but your BIOS or DBAN might not support USB3 booting - but this only applies if you're using an USB3 port and not a USB2 port.

>>58481106
Nope, it doesn't POST.
It either gets stuck on the initial splash screen that hides the POST information, or another screen which is used when there's some sort of message the mobo wants to display.
It's a relatively common problem apparently. For some people it was a bent pin on the LGA socket, and I thought that could be the cause, but the pins look fine.
Who the fuck knows any more, I've already wasted hours on it trying everything I could think of. I'll have to find another H77/Z77 motherboard, but most people sell them in pairs with CPUs, or they sell entire PCs.

>>58481106
Not sure if this answers your question but I originally set the USB to be the first option in the boot order (it ended up booting to windows).

After making sure I didnt forget to save or anything and checking a few other things I went and disabled the windows option in the BIOS boot order, this caused it to boot directly to the BIOS.

I believe the USB port was USB3, I think that is all the laptop has. I suppose I could check if my desktop has a USB2 port and try that.

What are these Service Host shit on my task manager, and why does it eats 50% of my processor and lagging my stuff all the time. And have 10 or multiple shit running. Cant I just disable them?

All the stuff I googled are microsoft designated worker answers that smells like bullshit.

What is the best e-reader

>>58481204
Yeah just double checked, the laptop only has USB3 and type-c so I'm fucked either way.

I'm going to try using unetbootin to create the bootable usb since an someone on /wsr/ suggested that.

>>58481213
You might have updates pending/installing
go install win10 first of all

>>58481165
Sorry about your loss, mate. It's dead.

>>58481213
Service Host is part of svchost on Windows which is completely binary and inpenetrable to anyone - much like what systemd is becoming on Linux. Any issue you have with it usually means reinstalling Windows is simpler than debugging it.

>>58481227
Kindle Paperwhite or the Kobo version with similar backlit display.

>>58481235
Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest too - that, or UBCD.

How do i stream from my pc to my smart tv and is this even a good idea?
They are too far apart to connect them with hdmi.

>>58481305
If your TV supports it, there's an option in Windows called Cast To which uses DLNA - but it's not always simple to setup on every TV, even if it's supported - and it pretty much requires a wired network connection between both devices through a switch because it's traffic-intensive and wifi is usually congested.

Are there any terminal emulators that handle proportional fonts well?

I know emacs does, and I can launch a terminal buffer, but I'd also like to have a standard terminal

>>58481339
By proportional do you mean monospaced? I use alacritty and dejavu sans mono, it's a new and very fast terminal with a monospaced sans serif font.

>>58481358
No by proportional I mean the opposite of monospace, like a normal font

So far as I can see, I'm the only one responding to questions in this thread. :C

>>58481392
Why would you use a non-monospaced font for a terminal?

Does it matter which order I install my games on my hard drive?
As in, do I want to do my favourite games first so that they are closer to the centre and load faster or is that a myth?

What are the benefits (if any) of using linux as my main OS? I've always used Windows and don't want to come off as an aspie to anyone who visits and sees my computer. Also I like gaymen cuz I'm a normie.

>>58481398
From a readability perspective there are different tradeoffs with each. There are some advantages to going monospace (code alignment in particular), but they're a holdover from the past and in a number of domains the readability advantage of a nice proportional font should outweigh the advantage of easy code alignment (and if you use elastic tabstops even that is fine with a proportional font).

Really, I'd just like to give it a try and see how it goes. Any curses programs probably won't behave well, so it probably won't be my only terminal, but I could get a good deal done with it.

Bonus reason: Plan 9 used proportional fonts, and this way I'd get to feel like I'm in Rob Pike-kun's secret club

>>58481413
Drive will be written sequentially when you're installing something, and Windows will defrag to keep system files on the fastest part of the platter - but access time is by far the biggest slow-down for spinning rust. In sort: Let defragmentation service in Windows take care of it, and don't worry.

>>58481418
If you want to game, you can't get away from Windows unless you also severely like limiting yourself to mostly unoptimized games. Dualbooting can be nice, but unless you burn to have a free and open OS, it's basically pointless
(I say this having run FreeBSD, a UNIX-derivative, as my primary OS - only dualbooting to Windows for gaming - for over 15 years).

>>58481434
The Plan 9 argument is what makes most sense to me, but even then I still can't not have a monospaced font in my terminal, and dejavu has a wide unicode coverage.

>>58481297
Tried using unetbootin, same issue as far as I can tell

>>58481479
Does the machine not have a boot menu option? Usually F8, F10, F11 or F12 when you're on the BIOS spash or POST screen.

>>58481413
> Does it matter which order I install my games on my hard drive?

No. Also get a solid state drive, then everything will load faster.

>>58481418
How do you feel about the Free Software movement? If you find their arguments compelling, then that's reason enough. If not, then there may be other reasons.

- Good package management (this is a huge pain on Windows, and quite pleasant on most Linux distros)
- Can avoid telemetry
- Better programming environment (this is subjective, I have to use Windows at work and I'm far less productive than I could be)
- Extensively customizable, build the environment that makes sense for you, rather than being forced into a one-size-fits-all default.

>>58481418
it runs better. the package system is really nice as well because it just works (tm) but if you do heavy image work and know the adobe tools, or are a gaymur or love ads then windows is honestly your best bet. also free as in freedom but that doesnt seem like your concern.

>>58481413
>closer to the centre
that would make them load slower.
if you really want to boost load times on certain games you play all the time install them on a partition on a SSD ad put the rest on your HDD cause that is really the only big difference. but otherwise dont really worry about install order.

>>58481491
I also opened that and clicked the usb drive which instantly closed the BIOS and seemed like it was trying to boot.

Ended with windows. There were actually two options for the USB drive though, one prefaced by UEFI and one without it. The USB option in the boot order also has a UEFI tag on it if thats relevant.

I have my OS on the SSD, but my steam library is over a terabyte so I have to put it on a spinning disk. I have WoW on the SSD.
Hopefully in a few years I will be able to afford pure SSD storage.

Good to see other anons replying with help, so it's not just me.

>>58481413
I'm >>58481466, but I just want to echo what others said: Get an SSD. The access time and increased bandwidth available make ALL the difference that spinning rust cannot get around, no matter what you do to them.

>>58481524
That means that it's not reading the boot files it's looking for - try making a freedos d isk with sdelete from sysinternals, that can accomplish the same job.

>>58481528
Only machine in my entire house to still have spinning rust is my server, every other machine is using an SSD. Never Not SSD.

How do I trace someone with a MAC Adress??

How can i create a youtube account without a phone number?

If that's not possible, is there an easy way to emulate the subscription youtube page? I don't want to be notified when a new video from one of my subscription comes out, i just wanna have a browser page that let me see all the recent uploads.

>>58481571
You can't.

>>58481573
Pretty sure you're required to have a phone number to have a Google account, which is what you need to have access to youtubes personalization features.

If you can get RSS feeds for the youtube channels you want content from, that's one option - but I believe those are personalized too.

Google wants to know everything about you and you can't do anything except don't use any of their services, or use all of their services and drink the koolaid.

>>58481560
Try another version of dban, or give up and find another solution - if you're not willing to search for things you don't know about and just want a full guide, you're on your own.

>>58481571
>>58481605
Then what can I do knowing someone MAC Adress? Also if that "probe" is connected to my wifi?

>>58481628
You can't do shit, mac addresses are functionally useless, can be easily spoofed and only exist to tell devices apart on a LAN without IP traffic.

>>58481638
Ok... uhm.
How do I trace someone?

>>58481628
As an addendum to >>58481638: If, and this is a big if, you're on the same LAN segment as them, you can do an arp request and get their IP - but since that requires you to be on the same LAN segment as them, you could do much worse in person.

>>58481651
You can't. That's not how things are done nowadays - social engineering is where it's at, such as sending them an email from a system you can't be linked to, which they open on a device that has location data and you then hopefully access that location data.

Short of an NSA budget, you can't do what NSA does.

yesterday while stoned i recorded myself with amd's relive,while talking with a friend.
Since my memory of then is foggy in my mind,i wanted to rewatch the videos.

but the 2 biggest files (3.99gb each)
are not playable. (in bs player,vlc,even foobar)

Are they somehow corrupted?
what can i do to watch them?

im very frustrated about the situation,i feel i was more in touch with myself when stoned,and could express some ideas better,and could take a look at myself more objectively. But i can hardly remember most of what we talked about,so i would appreciate it a shit ton if someone helped

>>58481676
Knowing plenty of stoners, I can tell you that you weren't.
If it doesn't play in those players, it's corrupt.

>>58481699
so what do?
so i can watch the videos?
even if i am pseudo-intellectual,or feel very profound about some obvious thing,im really curious

>>58481715

Fucking google

>>58481726
Now you're starting to learn why some people really fucking dislike Google.

>>58481724
okay,now im curious about why i can't.
what happens when a file is corrupted that makes it un-readable?

>>58481751
Video (with or without audio - regardless of whether they're in containers like mp4 or mkv, or whether they're just video like mp2 or mov) are very simple binary data streams - they can either play or they can't.

Out of curiocity, what file type is it?

>>58481782
mp4

>>58481823
Welp, mp4 is just a container, so the video is probably h264 and audio is either mp3 or aac. Didn't mean to get your hopes up, but there's nothing that can be done.

>>58481676
post ffmpeg output.

ffmpeg -i yourfile.mp4

Apache or nginx?

>>58481894
nginx

The amount of people that hate systemd seems rather high, why is that?

Just opened my cock.li mailbox and it said something about a false certificate all of a sudden. Anyone else get that?

What's the best VPN service? Especially for torrenting pls.

>>58481894
nginx, apache is a bloated piece of shit.

>>58481922
Because it's a bad software suite that was initially supposed to be an init system to replace sysvinit and has now become a bloated piece of shit with httpd, binary logging format, breaks with unix philosophy (do one thing and do it well, as well as running as pid 1), and there currently seems nothing that Lennart Poettering won't integrate into it if it pleases him. Also, it's primarily designed to work on Lennart Poetterings laptop, and nowhere else.

In fact, there's a whole wiki on it: http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Arguments_against_systemd

>>58482177
if you want to remove your swap partition, you need to be aware that it means you won't have any way of doing kernel dumps so if your system crashes you can't figure out why. also, swap is on disk, not in ram, so it won't speed your system up.

>>58482331
You can, but it will be as involved as the process of trying to change the same situation on Windows.

You can either change your desktop environment to KDE or you can learn to compile from source Firefox and use a patch provided by someone more knowledgeable that decided to share their solution to your similar issue.

Meant to reply to

>>58483096
>s.index(i)
It probably returns the first index of the letter. So in that string it always returns 4 because it's the first time 'b' occurs

Try going through the string by index numbers rather than letters. I don't know about python but in java it would work like this:

int i = 0;
while (i < s.length) {
    char c = s.charAt(i);
    ...
}

>>58483160
I'm not sure if I'm getting you right, I'm gonna type here what I understood but on Python and you can tell me if it's what you meant?

i = 0
while (i < len(s)):
    c = i # I'm not sure about this line

I am using a new network card today, and I have a bit of a problem.

I'm running a webserver, so I made a port forward rule to my new lan ip.

Here's the thing though, my computer can't access the domain.
On my previous card, I could visit my website from my own computer, but now that won't work.

On Chrome, I get a 408 error.
On Firefox, it tries to access "domain.tld/cgi-bin/luci" (router admin gui)

The website works on both other devices in the local network and wan.

Does anyone know wtf is going on?
I won't link site, as it's just personal and I don't want attention towards it, but I hope someone here will know why this happens, and perhaps how to fix it. Thanks

2x4gb or 1x8gb ram if i have 4 ram slots?

your new NIC has a new IP

can you ping the sites IP?

why not changing the new NIC ip to the ip of the build in NIC?

I can ping the domains and ip and get response.
Both nics were wireless btw.
I don't think changing the IP would solve anything, as the IP is only configured in the router port forwarding.

I can't test changing the lan ip atm, but I'll see if that does anything tomorrow. Thanks either way.

I came in here yesterday asking about a method to backup a vista hardrive and keep it bootable for if I restore it. I was presented with a dd command that used gzip to compress the empty space, but the "empty space" isn't actually empty due to how windows handles file deletion or some shit, and results in a larger file than expected.
Are there any commands that can be run from a puppy live cd with no internet access to fill the "empty" space with something a bit more compression friendly?
I did a bit of googling, and someone suggested using cat and /dev/zero to create a zero.file. Would that work without overwriting anything?

>>58484701
because one is profesional reliable tool while other failed me 3 out of 5 times I tried it

I started codecademy python, and was doing the course "pig latin" in which you learn to make a pig latin translator, which is taking a word, removing the first letter and adding it at the end and then adding "ay" to the end. What you end up with if you follow all their instructions is this:

original = raw_input('Enter a word:')
pyg = 'ay'
word = original.lower()
first = word[0]
new_word = word + first + pyg 
new_word = new_word[1:len(new_word)]
if len(original) > 0 and original.isalpha():
    print original and new_word
else:
    print 'empty'

however, I made it partly like the following (added some stuff after learning what they wanted exactly from the translater but point still stays) after the first of the 7 parts of that course just to see if I could do it on my own:

 original = raw_input("Enter a word:")
if len(original) > 0 and original.isalpha():
    print (original[1:] + original[0] + "ay").lower()
else: 
    print "empty" 

which seems a lot shorter. Is there a reason to store so many variables? Is that better formatting or prefered for some reason?

>>58484638
>jesus thats really really retarded way of old timers
It worked just fine as far as I could tell, it just didn't compress the empty space because the "empty" space was filled with shit that was deleted and wasn't actually empty.

Potentially everybody, but it's one of those effects that's really hard to observe. If your ram bandwidth is a limiting factor, it could affect gameplay, but I wouldn't spend much extra for it

>>58485166
The 10xx graphics cards beat the hell out of everything else available to laptops because they're basically putting full desktop cards in laptops now, with just a slight overclock. I highly doubt that AMD is going to do anything to match that in the near future

Yes as in I'll be alright?

allright /g/ im seriously confused:
I want my friend to host a minecraft server so we can mess around (we are neets >20 yo), mainly because he can change the router settings while my settings are automatically changed by the ISP, not to mention that no known "universal password" allows me to change the settings myself.
The thing is, i set up the virtual server for port 25565 (the minecraft server port) , and when he hosts i can join no problem.
The first problem is his pc does not see the server as local host but some weird adress that is listed in the router settings (not the LAN 192.168.0.XXX type adress ,and not the adress he sees when checking his ip whatsmyip types of sites).
The second problem is, I can connect , but two other peole can't - the server is not visible to them. 3 people share the same ISP , one is from the other city, one person is from the same city but has different ISP.
What the fuck /g/ ?

It's necessary for the extension to work and as such isn't seen as as evil as just selling your bandwidth for no other reason than money.

is it possible to set up a cell phone as a web server? I don't know how cell networks work but if you're paying for 'data' couldn't you request a static ip and then do whatever from there?

it's a normal internet connection, you can do whatever you want behind that.
though your provider might put you behind a internal router and you don't get a public facing IP.

Yes. You make a partition, and then install Windows on it. And then you'll need to re-install GRUB from a GNU/Linux USB because Windows deletes bootloaders.

i have an empty partition from a Linux installation that an heroed, but i don't know how to move/extend other partitions in the empty space

i am currently using the diskpart that came with my windows installation or gparted on yet another partition

should I sell my pc?

all I do is game on it and lately I've been realizing I don't really enjoy gaming. I'm 25. WTF

anyone been in a similar position?

>>58488555
it wasn't in browser

>>58488555
after doing

~ $ sudo ./fixpackage/code]
once again, i redid the installation, and everything went smoothly.

but if the error comes back, i'll test this command out just in case.

really, i just need to purge away the stupid torproject error:
~ $ sudo apt-get update

i've been thinking about rezizing partitions in gparted until the empty space is adjacent to my windows installation
problem is there are "recovery" partitions in the middle
will i fuck them up by resizing them?

Sorry for the late answer: Because you're not exhausting your memory - Swap has to functions; for memory to be swapped to disk when it's full (hence the name swap partition), and to a lesser extend to aid in dumping the system memory to disk in case of a crash, so that you can do analysis on why it crashed.

>>58482771
Because it's not in the path or where cmake expects it. Linux has no base system, so there's no standard for where things should go. Figure out where cmake expects GLM to be.

You need VT-d/AMD IOMMU, both of which are CPU features for Intel/AMD respectively.
SRV-IO can also help you, but not many hypervisors support it yet (read, only ESX(i) and Microsoft for now, as far as I know - as it needs firmware access for the hypervisor).

>>58488865
You're just getting old. Start finding another purpose with your PC (learning programming, or something else useful) or find other hobbies. It happens to all of us eventually and happened to me around 25 too.

What program should I use to compress a video?

>>58489177
Handbrake if you're not comfortable with the command line. x264 if you are.

>>58489177
ffmpeg

I bought a new (used tested and working) power source for my cpu. Right now it seems to work well giving power to my monitor, mouse, speakers, etc but the PC itself wont turn on at all.

It seems theres a white connector with 4 pins that I guess goes to the power button or the front panel, whose 1 pin was pushed down, right now I glued it in place with a non conductor glue but I want to ask in case thats not actually the issue, could anything else be wrong here? Could I possibly had fucked up by making electricity run through in that state and trying to turn things on?

>>58489191
My google chrome (yes, I know botnet) warned me it was a malicious software when i downloaded it.

>>58489196
x264 is better at compressing than ffmpeg with modern tunables

>>58489221
It's not.

>>58489208
If your pc won't turn on but your motherboard is delivering power to your mouse through USB, it's most likely a CPU issue. PW Swi (power switch on the front panel connectors on the bottom right of the motherboard in a usual ATX layout only has two pins, and they're usually red and black for + and ground).

is there any vid on how do do a mobo post?

>>58489276
>x264
How the fuck do I start this?

>>58489343
A motherboard will POST by itself - it's short for Power On Self Test and if it fails it'll usually print a message on screen telling why it fails. If a motherboard can't even turn on to POST, there's something else wrong (power, dead CPU or short circuit).

>>58489276
The CPU worked just fine before the change, there were no issues with it and its receiving power.

This is the thing Im talking about, and it goes through to the front of the case, to where the power button is.

Im not really sure what happened for it not to turn on.

>>58489276
>>58489370
ffmpeg is a frontend for x264

>>58489373
I guess I asked badly but I meant those first test they do on vids without a monitor

So I'm trying to remotely help my Japanese friend set up a TV. They have a satellite dish that is working with another TV in the house, but she doesn't know what type of satellite TV they have and I don't quite understand what's going on with japanese TV's. Can anyone help me out?

>>58489154
I was thinking to just whore myself and learn web dev shit. I'm not opposed to also learning C though. I just need to feel like I'm actually working towards something.

Life fucking blows and I have it easy.

>>58489370
I said to use Handbrake if you're not comfortable with the command line. You're obviously not, since you're asking how to start x264, so stick to Handbrake. If it makes you feel any better, Handbrake impliments x264.

>>58489395
Oh, that's a molex connector - it used to be connected to the harddrive back in the old days when harddrives used IDE/PATA. Did you remember to connect the 4pin power connector for the CPU from the PSU?

>>58489407
No, ffmpeg uses libav, which can use x264 but won't by default.

>>58489414
Oh, you mean the ones where there's a little (usually red) digit flashing? Those are POST-codes, just another way of displaying them.

>>58489422
Satelite TV, especially DVB-C, is a fucking horror show unless you're a technician, it requires messing with DISEQ and scanning whole frequency bands unless you're gien specific instructions by the provider.

>>58489430
I could do with an easier life. I got diagnosed with cancer last year.

>>58489458
>DVB-C
I meant DVB-S (although I wouldn't be surprised if they use DVB-S2 in Japan).

>>58489458
libav is a fork of ffmpeg

>>58489458
Yeah, first things I plugged were the cables feeding the motherboard and CPU

>>58489487
Sorry, I meant libavcodec.

>>58489499
Dunno what to tell you other than: consult the manual. You're obviously missing something too obvious to spot, that I'm too tired and drunk to think of.

>>58489514
Microsoft provides a tool to write an ISO to a USB flash disk: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool

she's actually in japan, and they have "BS" (broadcast satellite) and "CS" (Communication satellite) which are "free" (like a tv antenna here) plus premium subscription channels, but they also have satellite providers akin to direct TV. They also have terrestrial broadcasts that operate on a different frequency. She has a dish antenna, so likely it's a satellite setup but she doesn't know.
All this, plus not being able to read anything in the settings menu, is putting me at a loss.

>>58489547
oh and I forgot to mention they have "BCas" smart cards that go in the TV/set top box too and there are different types differentiated by color, but she doesn't know what I'm talking about when I ask if she has the red one.

>>58489487
Sorry, you're right. libavcodec contains libx264. In my defense, I'm drunk.

>>58489547
DVB-T is the terrestial broadcast system, DVB-S(2) is the satelite broadcast system. Just give up, it's not like she can put out if you fight for her anyway.

>>58489487
That anon is still too stupid to use the command line, though.


And with that, I'm going to bed. Hope some other anon takes over.

Sorry to bother you /g/ but I got to ask. My PC keep shutting down. When I reboot , ethernet won't work but wifi does. Only my PC is connected via ethernet. The only way to get internet back is by unplugging the modem and wifi , and reboot everything. Who the suspect here ?

Modem?
PC?
Wifi?
Ethernet cable/port ?
Inconsistent electricity ?

I need a new set of eyes on this , I can't solve it!

Thanks

Is R a good programming language to learn how to program?

I was about to start learning VBA because I wanted to use it within Microsoft Excel but I heard R is a lot better for this purpose.

>>58483253
Well right now you have a bridge set between the lan ports and the wireless network labled OpenWrt.

So the network labeled OpenWrt and the LAN ports on the router are accessible to each other.

I see you have another wireless network "Akeel" that is not bridged. Bridge it and make sure you don't have more than one DHCP server on the network.

>>58489540
You should look into Wake-On-Lan

>>58489692
It's very helpful if you're ssh'ing into Linux servers to change settings and things

>>58490133
R is great for data scientists. If you're brand new to programming, you should check out Python

i've been having some problems with my pc lately, not 100% sure what the problem is but i suspect it's my gpu or the fan control software fore it.

so a couple of days ago my pc would randomly shut off and start back up again, with the fans running at 100%. i thought my fan control software (msi afterburner) wasn't working correctly so my gpu overheated because of that. so i downloaded a different version of it that day and everything was fine for a couple of days until now.

today the same thing happened twice, my screen and sound froze up, and then my monitor lost signal with my pc, while my pc kept running, fans kept running etc. my monitor was still on but it said no signal detected. i had to reboot my pc and everything was normal again.

whats going on? is my gpu dying?

>>58490223
if you have any overclocks cut it out and go to stock
power supply is the first suspect
faulty gpu is the second susspect
faulty mobo is third

clean reinstall can help determine if its a HW problem or software

>>58490261
if the power supply is the first suspect then i should probably tell you that i'm using an ungrounded outlet because my house is old as fuck. maybe this has to do with it?

>>58490287
unlikely, ground missing is just you getting shocked if by some chance phase gets on the case... and case is not grounded so if you touch it it goes through you to the ground instead of the ground

>>58490306
when i touch the case and the radiator in my room at the same time it does give a significant shock, yep.

i don't have anything overclocked, but i will try reseating everything and checking all the cables tomorrow because it's 2:30am right now.

>>58490335
>when i touch the case and the radiator in my room at the same time it does give a significant shock, yep.
yeah, thats not suppose to be

grounding is like last resort for a serious mishap, not like solution to some daily occuring small issue
